I'd like to see Mu win. I'd like her to take down the WC record of 1:54.68 (Jarmila Kratochvílová in 1983).
Reasoning:
- I love cheering for favorites. I love cheering for dominance. I love cheering for excellence. I love cheering for villains (in sports). Kersee's athletes feel like the villains at this point. It's like cheering for the Yankees in late 90,s Lakers in early 00s, or Patriots in late teens. Villains bring eyeballs to the sport.
- Jarmila's records need to go.
- How awesome would it be if USA holds the WC records in both 800s? I believe the only other events that would be the case is the 4x100 and LJ.
- I want to see Mu on the US 4x4 team. More likely to happen if she wins the 800.
